We are now approaching the end of Syawal. However the feel of Eid-ul-Fitr are still inside most of us. As Eid-ul-Fitr are a celebration to celebrate the Muslim after fasting in the month of Ramadhan, a lot of foods were served during this festival. Different culture will served different food. Therefore I would like to share the food we ate in my hometown, Tawau Sabah. It’s not really special though but sharing is caring so let’s fly to Tawau and see what we might serve you.
This food name ‘Lappa’. I’m not really sure about the spelling but that is how my race Buton called it. Originally from South East Sulawesi, Indonesia, Lappa was made using ‘nasi pulut’ and cooked the same way as ‘ketupat’.
This one was name ‘Putu’. It was made using tapioca. It was actually quite similar with ‘Putu’ eaten by Bajau Semporna but different shape.
This is ‘Ambuyat’. It was made from starch or sago. Delicious depends on sauce use. We normally eat it with ‘kuah ikan’. Eaten mostly by Brunei people.
This is ‘Burasak’. Special food for Bugis people. It was made using rice and coconut milk.
Lastly, I would like to share my favorite fruit that I never found in Peninsula Malaysia, ‘Buah Tarap’. The shape was quite similar to ‘Buah Cempedak’ but the size are smaller, the cloves whiter and crowded. The taste is sweet.
Well, that is all for now. Happy eating everybody. ^_^
p/s : Please inform me if I gave wrong information. Thank you.
